have they officially released the names yet? I have been watching the local news and they havent said a word for the last two days about this. What is wrong with our news system when they overlook local murders and just talk about the board of education in another county??!

This one is close to the truth, Dennis who never has hurt a fly, killed his brother Jimmy Dean with a shovel and called his sister and told her he didn't know why and that he was going to take some pills to kill himself so she called the police and they found Dennis on the porch. The next day she called back and told the police the story again and told them her other brother was in the woods. She had told them that on the first call the day before. Please pray for the family!!

So let me get this right. U r saying Dennis killed Jimmy either in the woods or he put him in the woods? The police picked up Dennis & at that time u didn't even know he was dead & left the body u had called them about? That's crazy it seems the police if this is true would've searched the entire area for Jimmy. Even if they didn't know who he was they should've either been looking for another body or looking to arrest him for questioning at least. Who knows this may not even be true but I wish they'd release some information to the public as to what happened. I've looked everyday in the paper & news but nothing. I DO hate this for the family I remember going past there & one of them would be walking a dog. My they RIP & the Family will be in our thoughts & prayers.

they were my uncles...and the police are not sure if there was a third person involved thats why they are not saying anything...they are still investigating...and my uncle Denny did not tell my Aunt Betty that he killed his brother...he said they had a fight and my Uncle Jimmy left.When my Aunt found out Denny was found dead she drove up...she found my other uncle dead.She didnt even get a chance to report him missing.No one will ever know the whole truth....

Why aren't they releasing any information? I know they released one of the bodys. I think the community should know what's going on as far as the case. Was it just between the two men or was there an outsider?

I dont know why they arent releasing any info at all. the local news organizations should be all over this and theyre not. The police know what happened, but they refuse to speak about it. Its like they are all hoping that this will all just go away. meanwhile, the families cannot burt their loves ones and let the friends and family of the victims say their final goodbyes. I couldnt imagine what they are going through! Everything in limbo and probably not allowed to talk about shat happened. If there was a third party involved--if it was not a murder/suicide, then the public needs to know for safetys sake at the very least! I had not heard of one of the bodies being released, but that could very well be true. the public will probably never be told what happened, regardless of the cause of death.

<quoted text>For your info, Mr. Wizard, bodies are recovered every week in this county! Any time someone dies other than at a medical facility the police are required to respond and work the death natural or otherwise. So yes typically they are not suspicious but this one must have been. As usual someone posting that has no clue as to how things work.

That is true. My brother was sitting on the bed talking to me and we were having coffee, 20 min. later i was told he was dead! They called Don Meadows here and was going to send him for an autopsy. I have a lot of friends that are paramedics, one of them was here and knew Don. They skipped the autopsy and took him to memroial funeral home. I am still in shock and disbelief.

That's awful:0( No wonder people kill & we have so many robbery's NO justice is served. If their was a 3rd person involved he/she probably wouldn't serve as much time as the CVS robbery. Thats sad we need a stronger system around here. Things are gonna keep getting worse especially in this economy, if we don't start standing up.

I was watching the local news and they were talking about a murder and that they had new clues about it. It was a murder that happened around the area in February! Do you mean to tell me that these two men, murdered, do not deserve any airtime or newspaper updates at all? What about the family and friends that dont even KNOW their loved ones are gone because everyone is so hush hush. Or does it mean that we can expect some partial news maybe in the month of October, because it takes 4 months for the local news to catch up on important events? Dont they even care to think that if there is a murderer at large that he/she may kill again and that the neighborhood needs to know some details? It infuriates me how this is all so low-key! I saw a post where it stated that Dennis Meadows was sort of like a "neighborhood watch" guy..has anyone considered that that is maybe why he was murdered in cold blood? Maybe they killed him so they can continue their acts of breaking, entering, and perhaps more murder? I have heard nothing from WVVA nor Bluefield Daily Telegraph about this, and the bodies must have been released by now and the police must know something by now, right? Do they want to keep the public completely in the dark about this? And why?

we never get ans in this town---remember the richmond woman that was killed on lower thorn street years ago at her business---what about the water tower that had the dead man in it---and the man up near high street and all the other unsloved stuff that goes on. it will be a long time before we ever know waht happend to these two men ---if ever we know--prayers and sympathy to all the families
